The way to build up Dallas is to pat

early history of Oregon and was the
fouDder of Oregon City. In the old
resilience, which is now threatened
with destruction, he spent the latter
years of his life and under its roof
were entertained scores of famous
men, whose lives and work have been
closely Identified with the history of
the founding and upbuilding of our
state government.
The cost of moving the building to
a new location and renovating it
would not be great and the movement
for its preservation should not be
made an affair of only local interest,
but should be entered into by all of
the native sons and daughters of:

PRESENTS GOOD SHOW
THE POULTRY SHOW
"Bigger and better than last year"
is the expressed opinion of visitors to
the second annual show held by the
Polk County Poultry Raisers' Associa
tion. If that be the case, the Show if
certainly achieving the results for
which it was instituted. To improve
the quality of the poultry stock of
Polk county, to lead to a more careful
and scientific study and practice of
poultry raising, to arouse a more
widespread interest in this business
and eventually make it one of the
leading industries of Polk county, for
these purposes the Poultry Raisers'
Association was organized
As the most effective means of
inspiring the farmers and poultry
breeders of the county to work toward
those ends, the idea of holding a poul
try show was suggested and one year
ago the first annual show of the Polk
County Poultry Raisers' Association
was given.
The show was held more as an
experiment than anything else and
many doubts were entertained as to
the possibility of its success. In spite
of those doubts however, it was a suc
cess and the magnitudeof thatsuccess
has been adequately measured only
by the evidences of development in
the second show which is now being
held.
During the past few years, two
events each season have been noted
with especial interest by people resid
ing, not only in OregoD, but in many
other states. Those two events were
the annual Angora Goat Show and
the School Childreus' Industrial Fair.
Now the annual Polk County Poul
try Show bids fair to rise to a like con
dition of prominence in the interest of
the people of the Pacific Coast, and
such citizens of the East also as are
Interested in the resources and pros
pects of Oiegon. All this is well, for
it is upon the interest aroused among
people living in other places that a
community must rely largely or the
increase of immigration that brings
growth and prosperity.
For th it reism then the persons
h) iiri) directing this enterprise
deserve the hearty approv.il and
cordial support and encouragement of
every citizen of Polk county.

Tbe housewife who has been Induced
to buy a phosphate baking powder by
grocers or canvassers will be some
what chagrined to learn that this
character of goods is made from
burned bones mixed with diluted oil
of vitriol.
It seems that there Is no law com
pelling these long shot boys to print
tbe Ingredients on the can and hence
the consumer Is easily deceived. Goods
of this class cost very little to manu
factureabout 3 or 4 cents per pound,
not much more than the price of the
bone or alum from which they are
made.
We find upon investigation, that
tbe only real baking powder Is made
from cream of tartar, soda, and a
small per cent of starch to add to Its
keeping qualities. All the good
brands have the ingredients printed
on the label. 19-lS-St i
